GPA-Greater Cincinnati is a 501(c)3 corporation organized completely by volunteers who are dedicated to finding responsible, loving homes for professional racing greyhounds who no longer qualify to compete at the racetrack”.

We are looking for greyt fosters!

They are the backbone of our organization without whom we could not bring up dogs
for adoption!

Placing a dog in a foster situation does so much to help transition the greyhound
to its new life.

401(grey) – It’s a greyhound retirement program. For a one time donation of $50,
the donor can name the dog they want to sponsor and we will thank them on our sponsor
page. Another way to donate is a repeating monthly donation.

*****************

Did you know that a lot of companies have matching gift programs for non-profits?

Check with your HR Dept. to see if your company does and you can double your donation
to us.

You wouldn’t be on this site if you weren’t at least curious about adopting a greyhound.
You may be well-versed in greys, or you have heard something about them, or you
are simply looking for a dog to adopt. In any case, let us offer a bit of information
about this awesome breed.

Until the racing industry meets its end, there is an ongoing, critical need to find
great, loving homes for retired runners. Greyhounds come off the track at all ages
and with varied records…a constant stream of thousands of dogs per year. Obviously,
the ones that don’t pull in the money come off sooner. It is mostly these we acquire,
although on occasion we do get successful racers with a long career. Either way,
placement through an adoption group like ours is the only way these fantastic creatures
are going to fully live out their lives.

We cannot begin to tell you what amazing companions greyhounds are. You can see
it in their eyes, their playfulness, their devotion, and their intelligence. You
can see it as they adapt to a lifestyle never known before butof which they are
so deserving. Their attributes seem to put them on a higher plane somehow.
